On the ServerGrove blog today Pablo Godel has posted his wrapup of this year's phpDay/JsDay conferences that happened last week in Verona, Italy.

Last week I returned from Verona, Italy where I spent a full week with some of the best Javascript and PHP developers out there. I’ve been wanting to go to phpDay for a number of years so when I was invited to present a talk about Symfony2 and MongoDB, there were no more excuses, I had to be there!

Pablo talks about the sessions he attended (at both JsDay and phpDay) including Zeev Suraski's (Zend) keynote, a talk from Lorenzo Alberton about "Taming the Twitter Firehose" and his own presentation about MongoDB and Symfony2. He also mentions the second day's keynote from Rasmus Lerdorf and a workshop about building PHP extensions.

GrUSP is organising a tweet contest and its prizes will be two tickets, one for each conference. The contest will start today (March 29th) at 1pm CEST and will end April 1st at 7pm CEST.

Anyone can enter - all you have to do is tweet a post with a few things: the "#grsup" hashtag, a mention of the twitter accounts for the events, a link to the conference site and something about the event. Be sure and get those tweets posted before April 1st a 9am CEST - they'll pick the winners soon after! (Oh and multiple entries are accepted so the more you tweet, the better your chances!)

The phpDay/jsDay conference organizers have passed along an update about this year's conference(s) (happening May 167th/17th & 18th/19th in Verona, Italy) - they've confirmed some of their first speakers for both sides of the event!

We are very happy to announce the first confirmed speakers for the
jsDay and phpDay 2012!
